#2I just had to enter a complain to the Cisco security umbrella that my work uses - "I am getting tired of the high quality security checks that uses scary words in the url as a metric..."

#3Okay, but why?

#4Does anyone actually use brainfuck?

#5Meh, Brainfuck is clearly inadequate as the base for a modern computer.
Concurrent Brainfuck, now, that's where it's at. Forget "GPUs" and their measly "thousands" of compute units... can you imagine how many Brainfuck cores we can fit on to a system with a 5nm process? Millions, probably.
If there is any system that deserves to be tagged inconceivable performance, it would be such a system.

#6In 2023 I would expect at least a Brainfuck FPGA. Wouldn't be that hard to do. I bed somebody did that.

Counterpoint: why not?

#8Okay, but why?
Because humans. Of course someone did; there's always one.

I feel like the NUMA penalty would be high, and the coordination between so many execution units would be... painful.
That said, with someone clever enough working on it, it would be boss.

If you have admin rights, you can disable the umbrella trashware, apparently no one notices.

I think that old script needs a path adaption.
